Self Driving Car by Google

During our tour in Google Headquarters in Mountainview California, we got the chance to see their Self Driving Car. They took us out of the building overlooking this beautiful hill nearby.

I love the ecollective van that is displayed in their parking area that says "Recycle your unwanted electronics, it's safe, easy and free."

It reminds me of the electronics stuff we have here at home that we no longer need and use. I wish I could recycle them but the problem is I don't know how to erase personal information in it that I am scared to send it to recycling place.

Anyway, we learned a tad bit if information about the self driving car that Google is trying to develop. I mean, how cook is that! It might just be the perfect car for me since I hate driving hahaha.

Here are more shots.

We had a blast during the tour. Too bad, the battery of my camera did not last very long so I have no pictures for the rest of the tour.

I am so glad that we all went as a family even though it dented our finances but it was definitely worth every cent that we spent. Thanks also to Google for letting us all come during the awarding as opposed to two-person only attendance.

What do you think of the Google's self driving car? Would you let the car drive for you or you won't be comfortable with it?

I am sitting here trying to figure out who is funding Google to create that car! I wonder what else they have going on. It kind of frightens me. Not sure if I could just sit back and let a car drive itself considering how wrong GPS directions usually are! That is a beautiful corporate headquarters they have.

UUMMM… I'm kinda torn. Part of me wants to say WOW awesome! Part of me wants to run and scream into the "days of yore" when humans did human things and didn't have something electrically buzzing or doing something 24/7… AND I'M ONLY 28!! haha. Definitely a cool concept though!

In theory, a self driving car sounds cool. But, it will never be 100% perfect. I would be too afraid that a computer chip would fry and the car would go crazy and who knows who would get hurt in the process.

I wouldn't feel comfortable with that at all. When I am on the road, I need to be in full control or it drives me nuts. I feel all these electronic are just making people lazy. I mean what do you do during the ride, not everyone read. For me driving has always been fun, I don't see the fun in this.

So neat, but I'm not sure I would like to drive (or ride, I guess?) a self driving car! I'd have to see it first! I too have tons of electronics to get rid of, but don't know how to delete personal information!

It's amazing how far technology has come and the things Google has been establishing. I think I'm with a few others and personally don't feel comfortable with a car having complete control over driving and not me.
